TREES & SHRUBS
shade. color. enjoyment.
Trees clean the air, provide shade and shelter wildlife. Whether you are interested in a shade tree for your landscape, a fruit tree, ornamental flowering tree or a sugar maple for fall color, we are your first stop. If everyone planted at least one tree, we could leave a legacy of cleaner air, listen to whispering leaves on summer evenings, shelter birds and enjoy dreaming under a magnificent oak.
Shrubs are similar to trees, as they are woody plants. However, shrubs are usually smaller and have many bark-covered stems instead of one trunk. Shrubs are often used in groups as hedges, or as foundation plants around homes. As a bonus, Many flowering shrubs offer spring blooms, and later, berries that contribute beautiful color and prized by the birds. In addition, choose shrubs that provide colorful, autumn foliage and winter interest, too.

japanese maple
These elegant trees look beautiful in any landscape. The delicate leaves are available in green to burgundy-red and variegated, too… a perfect tree for small gardens and fall color.
boxwood
An excellent evergreen shrub for our area! Group slow-growing boxwood as a hedge, a single topiary or specimen plant in containers. It’s tidy when pruned or allow foliage to grow naturally.
arborvitae
These common evergreens are ideal as a privacy screen instead of a fence… some varieties can grow up to 50 feet tall. They’re sun-lovers, but sensitive to salt in winter.
hydrangeas
We love those elegant and extravagant flowers! We stock many different types of hydrangeas: Big Leaf, Panicle, Oakleaf, Smooth (Annabelles) and Climbing hydrangeas.
roses
Many classic & new varieties of roses are currently available in soft or vibrant colors, sweet or spicy fragrances, and in many sizes: Shrub, Climber, Tea, and low maintenance Knockout roses.
